Descendants: Rotten Hearts

Chapter 6 - First Day of School

Remedial Goodness 101 Classroom
[The next morning at school.]
Fairy Godmother: If someone hands you a crying baby, do you, A: curse it? B: Lock it in a tower? C: Give it a bottle? Or D: carve out its heart? [Gianna raises her hand.] Gianna?
Gianna: Lock it in a tower?
Fairy: Oh, okay. Anyone else? [Disappointed in Gianna's response. Then calls on Red.] Red?
Red: C: give it a bottle.
Fairy Godmother: Correct. Again.
Chester: You are on fire, girl!
Red: Just pick the one that doesn't sound like any fun. [She says, rolling her eyes.]
Chester: Oh.
Gianna: That makes so much sense.
Red: Oh... [She says sarcastically.]
[Jane enters the room.]
Fairy godmother: Oh. Hello, dear one.
Jane: Hi, you need to sign off on early dismissal for the coronation. [rushing up to her mother.]
Fairy Godmother: Everyone here remembers my daughter, Jane?
Jane: Mom, no! [Nervous around the VKs.]
Fairy Godmother: It's okay. Jane, this is everyone.
Jane: Hi. That's okay, don't mind me. As you were. [She runs out of the room as soon as her mom signed the papers.]
Fairy Godmother: Ahem. Let's continue. [She turns around and reads the board.] You find a vial of poison. Do you A: put it in the king's wine? B: paint it on an apple? Or C: turn it over to the proper authorities.
Chester: Oh! Ooh... [Chester raises his hand, but Hudson pulls him down and raises his own.]] get off.
Fairy Godmother: Hudson.
Hudson: C: you turn it over to the proper authorities.
Chester: I was gonna say that.
Hudson: But I said it first. Come here! [Messing with him as the boys start rough housing.]
Chester: Ow!
Hudson: Come on, who said it first? Who said it first? [Messing up his hair.]
Chester: Ow! Stop! Ah!
Fairy Godmother: Boys. Boys! [she yells as they stop fighting.] I am gonna encourage you to use that energy on the tourney field.
Chester: Oh, no. That's okay. Whatever that is, We'll... We'll pass. [he chuckles nervously.]

Tourney Field
[The boys went to Tourney.]
Coach Jenkins: Hudson, Chloe, offense. Chad, you're defense. Taylor, you're the shooter.
Taylor: Right, coach! [Chad and Taylor run out onto the field into position.]
Coach Jenkins: Hey. Hey! Hey, you. Lost boy! Put your helmet on. Get out of the kill zone! Come on. [Chester clearly lost on what to do.]
Chester: Kill zone? Wha...
Coach: Pick it up. Put it on! [signals Chester to put his helmet on and he does.]
Hudson: Ahh! [He screams as he rams through the defense with the ball.]
Chester: Hudson! It's me! It's Chester! Wait, stop, Hudson. Stop! No, no, no, no. No!
Hudson: Ahh! Oh, yeah! Come on, let's go! Oh! Whoo! Whoo, whoo! Oh! Oh!
Students: What just happened? Who is this guy?
Coach: You! Get over here! What do you call that? [Seeming angry at Hudson's action but to surprise he is proud of him.]  I call that raw talent. Come find me later. I'll show you something you haven't seen before. It's called a rule book. Welcome to the team sun. [He turns to Chester.] You ever thought about band? [Hudson laughs.]
Chloe: I'll work with him, coach.
Coach: All right. Let's run that again.
All: Whoo! [The team celebrates a good practice]
[Hudson shoves Chad as he walks past him.]
Chad: Ow.

Hallway
[Chad talks to Chloe while observing the VKs]
Chad: Those kids are trouble.
Gianna: Bye, Red
Red: Bye.
Chloe: Come on, Chad. Give them a chance.
Audrey: Oh no offense, Charmy bear, but you're just too trusting.
Chloe: I think you're wrong about them. I'll see you guys later.
[Chloe walks over to Red]
Chloe: Hey!
Red: Hey.
Chloe: How was your first day?
Red: Super [she says sarcastically]
Chloe: You should really think about taking this talent off the locker and into art class. I could, uh, sing you up. What do you think?
[Chloe looking at the spray paint red heart on Red's locker]
Red: Way to take all the fun out of it.
Chloe: Huh.
[Red walks away]

Bathroom
Red: Hi! It's Jane, right? Ah, I always loved that name. Jane. [Red approaches Jane.]
Jane: That's cool.
[Jane tries to leave]
Red: Don't go! [Red acts sad.] I guess I was just kind of hoping to make a friend. You probably have all the friends you need though, huh?
Jane: Hardly. [she turns around to Red.]
Red: Really? I mean, with your mom being fairy godmother and headmistress? I mean, not to mention your own, um... personality.
Jane: I'd rather be pretty. You've got great hair.
Red: Ah, you know what? I have the perfect thing for that. It's right [Red takes out the deck of cards, and pulls out a spell card.] Ah, here. "Beware, forswear, replace the old with brand new hair" [The card launches at Jane with a cloud of pink smoke, transforming her hair into pretty wavy locks]
Jane: Oh, ah, ah! [says as she sees her new hair, excitedly.]
Red: Wow! You almost don't notice your... other features anymore.
Jane: Do my nose! [pointing to Red's deck.]
Red: Oh, I can't. I've been practicing, but you know, I can't do really big magic... Not like your mom with her wand. I mean, one swoosh from that thing and you could probably have whatever features you wanted.
Jane: She doesn't use the wand anymore. She believes the real magic is in the books and not spell books, like regular books with words and stuff. [She says disappointed.]
Red: What a rip.
Jane: Yeah.
Red: You know, she used magic on Cinderella, who wasn't even her own real daughter. Doesn't she love you?
Jane: Well, of course she does. It's... It's just, you know, tough love. "Work on the inside, not the outside." You know, that sort of thing. [She pouts sadly.]
Red: Oh! That's the face! Yeah, and then just look as if your... your heart is about to break "Oh, mother, I just don't understand why you can't make me beautiful, too" [mocking the face Jane had made.]
Jane: You think it would work?
Red: Yeah. I mean, that's what old Cindy did, right? And your mother bibbidi-bobbidi-booed the hell out of her. And, hey, if your mom does decide to, you know, break out the old wand, invite me.
Jane: If I can convince mom, you're so there. [Jane leaves excited to convince her mom.]
Red: Yay.
Jane: Bye!
[Red waves goodbye]

Chemistry Lab.
[Gianna, daydreaming and staring at Chad while sitting next to Ryder]
Gianna: Any chance he's in line, for a throne? Anywhere in line?
Ryder: Chad. Prince Charming, Jr. Cinderella's Son. Chloe's Twin brother. Chad inherited the charm, but not a lot of there there, know what i mean?
Gianna: Looks like there there to me. [continuing to stare at him, not paying attention to class.]
Mr Deley: Gianna. Perhaps this is just review for you... So tell me, what is the average atomic weight of silver?
[Gianna quickly uses her mirror to get the answer]
Gianna: Atomic weight? Uh, well, not very much. I mean, It's an atom, right? Let's see. How do i find the average atomic weight of silver? That would be 106.905 times .5200, plus 108.905 times .4800, which Mr. Deley, would give us 107.9 AMU [She says as she writes the answer on the board.]
Ryder: "AMU"? [He whispers to himself in confusion.]
Mr Deley: I forget. Always a mistake to underestimate... [embarrassed.]
Gianna: A villain? Don't make it again. [She turns and sits back in her seat.]
